The expressive fruit of the 2013 Pellegrini Pinot Noir is distinguished by aromas of dark cherry, pomegranate and fig, spiced with cardamom and toffee. Its deep and luscious flavors are laden with juicy plum and strawberry preserves, accented by sassafras, mocha and caramel. The wine’s bright acid is balanced by its rich and creamy texture and a lingering velvety finish. Cellar for five to ten years to further develop its complexity.

Vineyard Notes

The Russian River Valley has the earned the distinction as being among a few places in the world where Pinot Noir achieves greatness. The cool maritime climate, morning coastal fog and brilliant afternoon sunshine conspire to create extraordinary growing conditions for the cultivation of exceptional Pinot Noir. The cool climate extends the growing season, creating the opportunity for
the grapes to ripen slowly and reach their full flavor potential while retaining their natural acidity.
The wines express themselves with intense aromas, bright red fruit flavors, lively acidity and richness in the mouth.
